Maintaining High-End Jewelry

Proper care extends the life and beauty of your luxury jewelry. With the right maintenance routine, your pieces can remain pristine for generations.

Daily Care

• Put jewelry on last, take it off first — avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays
• Remove pieces before swimming, exercising, or doing household chores
• Store each piece separately to prevent scratching and tangling

Cleaning Your Jewelry

For gold jewelry: Mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap. Soak for 10-15 minutes, then gently brush with a soft toothbrush. Rinse and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.

For gemstone pieces: Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for delicate stones like emeralds and tanzanite.

Professional Maintenance

Have valuable pieces professionally cleaned and inspected once a year. A jeweler can check prong settings, clasps, and stone security.

Storage Best Practices

Use a jewelry box with individual compartments or soft pouches. Keep pieces away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Anti-tarnish strips can help prevent oxidation of silver pieces.

When to Remove Jewelry

Always remove jewelry before: swimming (chlorine damages gold), gardening (dirt and chemicals), cooking (food particles and heat), and sleeping (chains can tangle and break).
